Latest Gift Aid and Payroll giving stats

The UK government has just published its latest analysis of UK charity tax relief statistics and you can read it in full at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/uk-charity-tax-relief-statistics/uk-charity-tax-relief-statistics-commentary. The headlines are that:

  • Gift Aid overall is slightly up but fewer charities are receiving it
  • Charities received £9 million less from Payroll giving, a 7-year low

Now, more than ever, we should be getting every pound of Gift Aid we can, so is it time to check that you are claiming all you can, including the GASDS?
